NPFL: Remo Stars End Losing Streak with Dramatic 2-1 Win Over El-Kanemi Warriors in NPFL Round 12

Remo Stars finally ended a three-game losing streak in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) by securing a 2-1 victory over El-Kanemi Warriors at the Gateway Stadium in Ijebu Ode on Monday during Round 12 of the season. The win is a major boost for the Sky Blue Stars, helping them move further away from the relegation zone.

The match started intensely, but it was El-Kanemi Warriors who broke the deadlock in the 58th minute through a clinical finish by Emmanuel Jonas, giving the visitors a temporary lead. Remo Stars responded with resilience, earning a penalty when Victor Mbaoma was fouled inside the box. Mbaoma calmly converted the spot-kick in the 84th minute, leveling the score at 1-1 and reigniting hopes for the home side.

Drama unfolded in stoppage time as midfielder Michael Okoro Ibe found the back of the net in the 90+4th minute, securing a last-gasp 2-1 win for Remo Stars. The victory ended their string of losses and provided a much-needed morale boost as they aim to improve their league position.

The defending champions will now hope the win can restore confidence as they prepare for their next NPFL fixture against Rangers International on 13th November 2025 at the Gateway Stadium in Ijebu Ode.
